Thankfully I read the book after watching the movie, so I was able to thoroughly enjoy it without having any kind of preconceived expectations. But after reading the book I was amazed by everything that was different. Sorta cool in the way that it was like two completely different ways to tell the same story. So it was almost like watching a really well made reboot.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that one. No book movie has ever had more substance than the book version - not a knock, just not enough time. For me, the only thing the movie did better was put more nostalgia that the masses could appreciate. The book is way more geared towards the true nerds, which I do not claim to be they were mostly over my head.

I’m torn on this one for sure. On its own, it was fantastic. But having read the book I was really surprised at how much they changed. It’s probably the most changed story from book to movie that I’ve ever seen. It was like a story taking place in an alternate universe. Same characters, same concept but different everything else.

Lucky... I logged in earlier and things seemed fine. All movies were showing and I cross checked with Fandango. Talking with my wife at dinner about what time I’d hit, open the app and freaking nothing. The plus side I guess is that I didn’t get all the way to the theater and discover it.

And Moviepass has their BS auto reply on saying they won’t reimburse out of pocket purchases.

Well, before tonight I was gonna keep it for sure. I only get time to see movies Monday-Wednesday late nights, so I haven’t had any issues with surge pricing. However, when I log in tonight all of the movies are gone. I have 6 theaters in my area and the only movie available for me to see is Mama Mia. Literally everything else is either missing entirely, or blacked out. Not blacked out because I’ve seen them (I’ve only seen Antman and The Equalizer 2 currently)

Yeah I’ve definitely saved more than I’ve paid. It was fun while it lasted for sure. For me, it was just nice to hit a movie a couple nights a week after the kids and wife went to sleep. Before Moviepass, I was one that wrote off seeing movies in theaters unless I got a deal on a gift card or one as a gift. I’ll go back to that with no issues - maybe try A-list until it changes too much.
